Phone Call from the Past [Self Para: Soo Jung]
Soo Jung eyes darted around the students below her as the wind caught her pale skin and whipped her long locks. she leaned against the railing of the rooftop and propped her elbows on the cold metal. A small frown was sketched on her features as she tried to ignore the throbbing pain on her wrists. Her hands were itching to get a hold of that certain blade but she had to fight the urge. She won’t be cutting anymore and these are the side effects of her withdrawal. She haven’t cut for few days She decided to change her life and take the path road that was less traveled. She wanted to change.
Her thoughts were cut off by the ringing sound coming from her phone.
Seeing the Unknown number, she hesitated for awhile before finally answering it. “Hello?”
One simple word and her calm demeanor came crumbling to the floor. Her hands started to tremble as she clutched her phone closer to her ear. It’s a male voice. And it sounded so painfully familiar. There’s only one person who calls her with that nickname. And that same person gave birth to her other side.
Where did you get my number? Why now? Do you still remember me? Why did you call? Were the words she wanted to ask. But she was afraid of the possible answers that she might receive
“W-Who’s this?” were the words that escaped her lips instead even though the answer was so painfully obvious.
A few seconds passed before he finally replied.
“It’s me”. And they both knew that his name was not needed to be said. She already knew who’s on the other side of the line. Because she used to hear his voice everyday.
"… It is you". Her voice came out soft and barely audible that she wasn’t even sure if he heard it. She can’t even hear her own voice over the loud bu-dumps of her heart.
She don’t know how her voice sounded so calm when deep inside her, her emotions were so overwhelming.
“Yeah. It’s.. been a long time”.
Her eyes were alive and unfocused and flooded with unshed tears. She was in pain but at the same time she was happy because he remembered her and he haven’t forgotten her-
“We’re currently having our class reunion right now”. His voice came out cold and empty and beautiful as if he’s mocking her because she was not there when everyone is but she didn’t cared because she was happy and content. Just like the old Soo Jung.
Before she could even comprehend what she was doing, the words 'I miss you' escaped her lips, full of sincerity and affection. She bit her lower lip when she didn’t received any reply. And she can taste her blood from biting too much
She licked her bottom lip and smiled to herself. “I miss you so much”. She continued. “I miss hearing your soft voice. I miss seeing your face. I miss everything about you”.
Still no reply. Though she can hear the faint sound of his breathing.
"You know what funny is? I never regretted anything. Following you around, being possessive, or hurting that girl that I caught you kissing-" Her words came out fast but very clear. And was cut off by his cold voice.
“Stop it. Krystal.You’re being selfish again”
Her body froze. She stopped breathing. Her eyes were wide.
“It’s all pointless. No matter what you say about her. She’s dead. The only girl I’ve ever loved is gone. My first and last love”. And there her heart stopped beating.
"I thought you changed. That’s why I called you. I got your number from one of our former classmates. I was thinking that maybe we could be friends again. But.. you never changed."
He paused for awhile as if choosing the right words. ”Promise me one thing though. Take care of yourself ok? That’s all. Bye”.
Why are you telling me this? Do you want me to go insane?
She pressed the end button as her hands lay limp on her side.
'Take care of yourself ok?'
Maybe she should continue her self harms after all.
Her lips slowly curved into a crooked creepy smile as her eyes became dark and void of any emotions.
